We have a DSpace 5 instance that we are migrating. We've realized that due to a human error, several different authors have been entered with the same ID.
In the vc_personas table, there are authors who share the id field, but the graphical interface does not allow me to change that value. What is the procedure for changing the ID of authors who are different but mistakenly share the same ID?
Thanks in advance

Hi,

I'm not sure how to answer this question because the "vc_personas" table is not something that exists in DSpace.  Maybe this is an third-party extension or customization?  If so, you may need to contact whoever built that extension/customization for feedback.

It's also possible that someone on this list will understand what this table is from.  But, I can verify it is not in "out-of-the-box" DSpace (in current versions or any prior versions).

Tim
